For any person in the process of watching a film, the visual component is important. We all, of course, are much nicer to watch beautiful actors playing on the screen of our favorite characters.
It just so happened that directors and scriptwriters always meticulously evaluate the appearance of each artist. Nevertheless, not appearance, but play and charisma are decisive factors when choosing an actor for a different role.
Sometimes Hollywood beauties with a perfect face and an athletically built figure are denied in favor of a less beautiful, but more charming artist.
Here are 10 talented, but not shining with the perfect beauty of the actors who are adored around the world.
10. Jean-Paul Belmondo
Few people know, but in his youth, Belmondo might not have received the famous role in the film “Double Turn of the Key”, which eventually brought Jean-Paul wild success and popularity in the world of the film industry.
When the actor came to try his strength at the casting, the Hakim brothers (producers of the picture) unanimously exclaimed to him “Well, a mug!”. It was unpleasant for them to look at the crooked nose and wrinkled face of the young Belmondo.
Then our favorite was offended and was about to leave the building, when suddenly the director Chabrol ran up to him and said that he was giving him a role. Chabrol admired Jean-Paul's facial expressions and talent, and the director realized that he no longer wanted to see anyone in this role.
After they shouted in the back of Belmondo that his destiny with such a face was to play only villains, and he should not even dream of serious dramatic roles and the roles of a hero-lover.
But to spite everyone, just a couple of years after the release of Double Turn of the Key, Belmondo kissed the most beautiful actresses on the screen on the screen, and many men said with rapture that they would like to be like him.
9. Ron Perlman
The specific appearance of Ron has long been an object for good jokes and funny pictures on the Internet. And thanks to such an unusual face, Ron won the love of fans around the world. But this was far from always.
In childhood, the boy suffered from ridicule of classmates and was a universal outcast. And all because of the strange shape of the face and excess weight in addition. But thanks to his parents, little Ron was able to believe in himself and found a vocation in acting.
From an early age, he successfully played in the theater and entered the acting department in Minnesota. There he was noticed by eminent directors and vying to invite a talented young man with a non-standard appearance to his projects.
Now fans warmly joke about the fact that Ron's face can be compared to the face of a Maine Coon cat. The actor himself actively supports such jokes and also speaks of his own appearance with humor.
8. Steve Buscemi
Steve's face is least associated with fans and directors with kindness and decency. The unusual shape of the eyes, cheeks and lips resembles the grin of a notorious con artist. Therefore, in his youth, he was most often offered to play villains in TV shows.
Later, thanks to his own talent, the guy was able to push the way into the world of big show business, where he received many serious roles. True, as Steve himself jokes, it is largely because of his predatory face that scum that he receives all these roles of killers, thieves and mafiosi.
But fans and colleagues know: an honest, brave and respectable person is hiding behind the appearance of the criminal.
What is the famous act of Steve worth when he threw everything and rushed to rake the rubble of the twin towers in 2001 and save people from the rubble of buildings.
7. John Malkovich
Thanks to John Malkovich's eccentric face, director Benton once noticed him. He watched Malkovich while he shone on the theatrical stage as a young actor. He told John head on that he initially seemed to Benton a freak from the circus, but later his striking appearance, coupled with his tremendous talent and incredible charisma, made the director invite Malkovich to the role “Place in the Heart”, which became a big debut for John and opened the door to the world of the show business.
It was his appearance that pushed the actor over the years to love the most marginal personalities in the movies he plays. His images of maniacs, psychopaths, gang leaders became the most vivid and memorable in the career of the actor.
6. Woody Harrelson
Whatever side you look at the face of Woody Harrelson, you certainly can not call him ordinary. Bright eyes with a thoughtful expression, a slightly hooked nose, tightly pressed lips, fair skin and hair - all this together looks so unusual that his face can not be compared to anyone else, it stands out and is remembered for a long time. But at the same time, Harrelson is far from handsome.
Such an original appearance opened the actor the opportunity to play the most diverse roles. The characters of his characters are in perfect harmony with the face of Harrelson.
Equally well, a man copes with the roles of “good” and “bad guys”, deserted alcoholics and respectable detectives. And fans appreciate the unusual appearance of the actor and are proud that Harrelson is difficult to compare with others.
5. Adriano Celentano
The legendary Celentano was never handsome. His body is too thin to be called athletic. And the face is completely devoid of regular features.
The ugly but confident young guitarist and singer Celentano burst into the world of Italian show business and conquered it with lightning speed. And unpretentious appearance did not stop calling Adriano one of the sexiest men in the world. And he, instead of his wife, was called by many the most beautiful couple of the 20th century.
Women around the world idolized the actor with a hoarse voice and incredible play. And even now, when the artist has crossed the eighty-year milestone, he still remains a charming and energetic idol of millions.
4. Willem Dafoe
Willem loves to joke about his unusual appearance. He admits that he adequately understands why he has been offered the roles of "bad guys" throughout his acting career. He sees his own face is not so much original, how much cruel.
Dafo says that anyone who sees him for the first time will call a man crazy or a freak. And the actor’s fans call Willem’s appearance “perfectly villainous.”
Even the journalists who interview Dafo admit: “You are standing in front of a guy, and he will turn his back on you. And then he turns around, smiles broadly, and you feel very uncomfortable. ”
3. Vincent Cassel
Kassel's face does not match the ideals of masculine beauty with any of his features. There is not a single correct trait in it. In addition to the non-standard face, the actor has protruding ears. But this does not stop calling Vincent one of the sex symbols of the planet over and over again.
Kassel himself admits that the original appearance never interfered with his career, but rather only helped to receive the coveted roles.
With such irregular facial features, Kassel has almost ideal body parameters. The actor has a stately athletic figure, carefully watches himself, eats properly and attends the gym.
2. Benedict Cumberbatch
The appearance of Benedict Cumberbatch in the past caused heated debate among fans of books about Sherlock Holmes. When the BBC announced the launch of the project, and Cumberbatch was declared an actor who will play the role of Sherlock, many were indignant. But as soon as everyone saw Benedict in the image of Sherlock on the screen, the women immediately christened him the sex symbol of British cinema.
And later, The Sun magazine published ratings of the sexiest men in the world, and Cumberbatch appeared in them first. Even handsome David Beckham succumbed to him.
Benedict himself admits: “I look at myself in the mirror and see all the errors of nature. I sincerely do not understand why people like me so much. I have not a face, but a horse's face. But in a good way! ”
1. Adrian Brody
Black-haired, refined Brody does not have a beautiful face. Most striking is the actor’s long hooked nose, which he has broken 4 times. The actor himself could fix his nose after the first breakdown, but he decided to make it his highlight. Since then, the trademark has become for Brody a happy ticket to the world of cinema.
Deficiencies in appearance do not prevent the actor from basking in the glory. Moreover, Brody is often called an icon of style. His signature outfit is a strict black suit with a tie and a white shirt. The strict image is even more emphasized by the blue-black hair of a man.
The image of a stylish actor of Jewish origin drives women crazy around the world. Brody himself actively uses this and twists the novels left and right.
